Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.2.0

I have ER7206 connected to two WAN connections.  WAN 2 and WAN 3.  OC200 is controlling.

 

I'm trying to configure some client devices to always connect over the same WAN, and I guess policy routing. But I'n unclear on how to configure.

 

For 6 devices: all internet access to be channelled through the same WAN.

Both WANs can be used, but only as a group.

 

Scenario 1:  Normal.....

Client 1 connected to WAN2

Client 2 connected to WAN2

Client 3 connected to WAN2

Client 4 connected to WAN2

Client 5 connected to WAN2

Client 6 connected to WAN2

 

Scenario 2:  WAN 2 is offline, clients connect through WAN 3

Client 1 connected to WAN3

Client 2 connected to WAN3

Client 3 connected to WAN3

Client 4 connected to WAN3

Client 5 connected to WAN3

Client 6 connected to WAN3

 

Scenario 3:  Assumed default - I'm trying to avoid this scenario, mixed WAN use:

Client 1 connected to WAN2

Client 2 connected to WAN2

Client 3 connected to WAN2

Client 4 connected to WAN3  << Mix

Client 5 connected to WAN2

Client 6 connected to WAN3  << Mix

 

I can find how to lock the IPs to a single WAN.  There is also a "Use the other WAN port if the current one is down" option. 

I'd be grateful for any suggestions, to be sure to move the entire group to the other WAN.
